Messaging & Chat

Connect users and ensure communication.

Humans are social creatures. We use technology to communicate and stay connected. This electronic communication has moved beyond just text to include pictures, screen captures and other images. We use our chat history as an information archive that we return to over and over again. This electronic communication is now part of almost every web application.
